ITR 2025: There is relief news for those who fill the Income Tax Return (ITR). The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has extended the last date for Financial Year 2024-25 from 31 July to 15 September 2025. This decision has been taken so that taxpayers do not have any problem in filing returns on time and they can get a lot of time.
Increased time due to changes
CBDT reported that changes have been made in ITR forms for Assessment Year 2025-26 (Ay 2025-26). The purpose of these changes is to make the process easier to pay tax. Due to these changes, new ITR is taking longer for creating utility, integration and testing in the system. For this reason, the timeline for filing returns has been increased.
Why not Salarid taxpayers ITR file before June 15?
However, some forms such as ITR-U have recently been released on 15 May and utility has started functioning. But salary taxpayers have been advised not to file ITR before June 15. The reason for this is Form 16, which the employer (Employer) releases every year till June 15.
